Type : D'après The Linnean Plant Name Typification Project: "This and the slightly earlier Rondeletia repens L. (1759) share some original elements in common, which has led some authors (e.g. Steyermark in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 23: 395. 1972) to treat P. repens as a new combination. However, there are some discrepancies between the two and they appear to be best treated as independent names."
